"We are thrilled to welcome Karrie to our Cornell Lacrosse family," Graap said. "She is an impressive young coach who has the passion and energy to help our program compete for championships. Her experience as a student-athlete in the Ivy League will allow her to relate to our players who are striving to be the best in both the classroom and on the lacrosse field."
